CHILDREN NEED ART.
Research points to a strong correlation between involvement in the
arts and achievement in the classroom.

Art is powerful.
Unleashing that power in young people begins
with drawing, the fundamental skills of all visual
arts.

Young Rembrandts offers children a world of opportunity to develop
skills, confidence and knowledge. Participating in Young
Rembrandts provides children with a comprehensive art literacy that
serves them well, not just at the drawing table, but in school and
on into adulthood.

Choose Young Rembrandts. At Young Rembrandts we teach children to draw - the
fundamental skill of all visual arts - using a sequential, ordered
process. As a result, students show dramatic improvement in
their drawing abilities, expand their art vocabulary and art
history knowledge, demonstrate patience, discipline and focus, and
improve their attention to detail and sequencing skills.

FAQ ... Frequently Asked Questions by Parents
1. Are classes held at my child's school or at your
location?
Classes take place once a week immediately after
school at YOUR
child's school. Our classes are 60 minutes. Parents are
responsible for transportation after our class has concluded.
Please pick up your child promptly.

2. What supplies will my child need? None - we provide all of the supplies needed for the
class. Your child does not need to bring anything to class
except a smile on their face and a passion to draw!

3. What type of art will my child be
doing?
Young Rembrandts is a drawing class. We will teach your
child to draw using a step-by step method, with different fun
themes each week, including an art history lesson and introduction
to cartooning! Your child will draw and color a different
lesson each week. We use color pencils, markers and
sharpies.

4. How do you teach the lessons?
We are the only afterschool art enrichment program that teaches
art, using a methodology specifically designed to improve student
perception, visualization and organizational skills. At Young
Rembrandts, we teach children to draw - the fundamental skill of
all visual arts - using a sequential, ordered process. As a result,
students show dramatic improvement in their drawing abilities,
expand their art vocabulary and art history knowledge, demonstrate
patience, discipline and focus, and improve their attention to
detail and sequencing skills. All of our Young Rembrandts teachers
have a passion for art and children. They are fully
trained, thoroughly screened and have received a background check
before they can teach.

5. My child has taken Young Rembrandts before, so will
this class be different?
Our classes maintain a similar structure, but our lessons are
ALWAYS new. We repeat concepts, but we have six years of
lessons, so your child will always be drawing something different
at every class. A known fact ... even if your child began
taking our classes in Kindergarten and they continue to take
our classes all the way through to the sixth grade, they will NEVER
draw the same lesson twice!

6. Can my child attend Young Rembrandts if she goes to
an aftercare program at the school?
Yes, once you let us know on the enrollment form, or online
enrollment that your child will go to after school care, we will
inform our teacher and your child will be escorted to your school's
aftercare program after our class.

7. What age group is the program for?
Our elementary programs are designed for children in
Kindergarten through 6th grade.

8. Will I receive a confirmation that my child is
enrolled?
If you enroll online, a confirmation email will be sent to you. If
you enroll through the paper registration form that is sent home by
your school, no, we will not contact you directly. If
you are concerned, or just want to be 100% sure, please call us
(925) 353-1704 and we can confirm that we have your child
enrolled.

9. Can I register on the same day of class or after
classes have begun? Most of the time, yes, however seating is limited and
some classes fill up very quickly. We encourage you to register
EARLY. To find out if a class is full, please call our office at
(925) 353-1704.
